How many days until DOGE announces it is laying off three Supreme Court justices?

BREAKING: Days after a Louisiana judge ruled that the deportation of Mahmoud Khalil can proceed, thousands are holding an emergency Passover Seder at the ICE headquarters in New York City, saying: If you come for one, you face us all.

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele gets $20,000 for every person Trump deports to his country. That’s $6 million so far this year. Bukele says it makes the prison system self-sufficient.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this. We can't. We need answers.

COMPARE: the results of fighting back to the results of not fighting back

SHARE! This is an a ATTACK on OUR VOTING RIGHTS! 😡

Jeffries: The Supreme Court and or the federal district court actually needs to enforce its order. And the vehicles that are available relate to contempt, and that contempt can be directed at a variety of different members of the administration, including the Secretary of State…

Trump is doing this right now btw

😕🇺🇸

This should be the biggest news yet! A President flagrantly disobeying a SCOTUS order is a Constitutional CRISIS! Congress start impeachment proceedings or the guillotine will come out for all of them!

Legal permanent resident of the U.S., showing up to apply for citizenship, with no allegations of criminal activity, is arrested and detained by masked police. This is fascism, and that is not a word I use lightly. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/n...

Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen is demanding a meeting with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele over the detention of Kilmar Abrego Garcia and says he’ll go to El Salvador himself if the Marylander isn’t returned.

Again… Impeach. Convict. Remove.

Folks who are citizens of other countries and are considering travel to the United States for a vacation or work or whatever: I strongly advise against it. You will not have protection from the illegal actions of this administration. It's not worth it. Don't roll the dice by traveling here.

Director John Ratcliffe broke the law. He must resign.

The ICE officers covering their faces feels like a pretty big tell

UPDATE: An hour late, the only substantive update from DOJ is a link to Bukele's Oval Office comments. Still no response to the judge's questions. Spells Kilmar's first name wrong. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Criminals deserve due process because due process is literally how we determine whether someone is, *in fact*, a criminal

Warren: But this also happens to be a case where it’s not just the DOJ and SEC with jurisdiction. State attorneys general all across the country have power here too. That’s why a group of us just sent a letter to every state attorney general, urging them to launch independent investigations.

That’s illegal. FYI. No - Pam Bondi won’t do anything.

VoteVets Action Fund, the North Carolina Alliance for Retired Americans, and two individual voters all working with Democratic operative Marc Elias’ law firm filed a separate appeal. www.carolinajournal.com/riggs-groups...

Sending an all-female crew into outer space for a few minutes, at the cost of millions — while women down here on earth are dying without reproductive care… is a choice.

We’re sending the guy with 0 felony convictions to a horrible prison in El Salvador and keeping the guy with 34 to run the country? Insane.

Bernie crashes Coachella! Why haven't we seen more youth outreach like this from our leaders?

Big Law's capitulation to Donald Trump is a billion dollar betrayal of democracy and the rule of law. I write about this and much more in my Tuesday tip-sheet. Join Democracy Docket now to receive it straight to your inbox tomorrow morning. newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-signup

JUST IN: CIA confirms that when it scanned Director Ratcliffe's phone for Signalgate messages, they were gone. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

If the military had any honor or loyalty to their oath, they would be actively putting an end to ICE by any means necessary and mobilizing on El Salvador.

The trade war between the US and China has spurred Brazil’s agricultural sector and pummelled American farmers. “It is a boon for farmers in Brazil and Argentina, and it will help their industry a lot,” points out a lead agriculture analyst. on.ft.com/42oB1f2

So by paying our taxes, we pay for a Central American dictator who runs the 116th-richest nation in the world to build five more supermax concentration camps slated to be filled with our countrymen and wholly innocent legal permanent residents of the United States? Is that right?

People are lining up for hours at Kharkiv blood center to donate for Sumy, because it’s the closest option. How can anyone think we’d give up even an inch to Russia? Photo: Anna Gin

The day after the state Supreme Court put conditions on military and overseas votes counting in her race, Democratic Supreme Court Justice Allison Riggs said she is eager to take the fight over those votes to federal court. ncnewsline.com/2025/04/14/n... Story by @lbonner.bsky.social #ncpol #nc

Emergency video: it’s time to start making plans. Either the house steps up to defend the constitution, or our generation does. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/emergency-...

What we all just witnessed had all the earmarks of a criminal conspiracy to deprive Abrego-Garcia of his constitutional rights, as well as an impeachable offense. The fraud scheme was a phony agreement engineered by the US to have Bukele say he lacks power to return Abrego Garcia and he won't do it.

Pam Bondi: “That’s up to El Salvador if they want to return him…If they wanted to return him, we would facilitate it, meaning provide a plane.” Nayib Bukele: “How can I return him to the U.S.? Like, I smuggle him into the U.S.?” No, you put him on the plane the AG just said the US would provide!

Gross: The GOP is planning $5.3 TRILLION in tax cuts for their Sugar Daddy donors. And WE are going to PAY for them through tariffs and cuts to our healthcare. #MAGABlowingYourTaxes

Calm down, folks, it was just an attempted assassination of a Jewish Democratic governor and his family on the first night of Passover, it’s not like somebody spray painted a dick on a Cybertruck.

The same sort of attack that targeted Pelosi and injured her husband. apnews.com/article/josh...

We are way past impeachment time

👍🏽👏🏾👏🏾

Most chode in a sea of them.

"Kevin Hayden, I think, needs to ask himself, is it necessary and proper to abduct somebody in the middle of their constitutionally protected jury trial? That’s really what’s at stake.” I am not a lawyer, but it seems like charging this ICE agent is one of our few tools for pushing back right now.
